Product Insights
The Norka Living Faux-Fur Wide Stripes Chair is a 27.5-inch cube that functions as intentional furniture—its flat top doubles as a footrest, side table, or armrest—and provides light back support for cross-legged sitting during short activities like gaming or drawing. Its dense fill compresses over weeks of use, reducing seat height from 27.5 to 20-22 inches, which adapts the chair for early-elementary children but diminishes its suitability for adult deep lounging. Assembled in Canada and sold through Simons, it is considered a nicer, design-led alternative to similarly priced imports, though the break-in tradeoff shifts its primary use from adult seating to a kid-friendly low stool.
Verified claims
- Compression
- Seat height compresses from 27.5 to about 20-22 inches after weeks of use.
- Aesthetic integration
- 27.5-inch cube reads as intentional furniture, not a beanbag.
- Support tradeoff
- Dense fill provides light back support for cross-legged sitting during short activities like gaming or drawing, but lacks the deep, wrapping feel of a teardrop lounge.
- Age fit
- After a few weeks of use, the seat compresses to 20-22 inches, where the hip position aligns with the lower-leg length of a typical early-elementary child.
- Modular uses
- Cube functions as footrest, low table, or armrest for prone reading.
- Canadian origin
- Assembled in Canada, with positive Reddit feedback for comfort and value relative to imported beanbag chairs.
- Design style
- Functions as a backrestless chair that fits against a wall.
- Competitive value
- Priced at $228, similar to imports but with a designer look.
- Retail trust
- Sold through Simons and directly from Norka Living’s website.
- Lounging
- Designed for lounging and napping; buyer reviews describe the chair as comfortable, high quality, and soft.
- Age and weight guidance
- The chair is described as designed for kids and teens, but no specific maximum weight capacity or official age range is provided.
- Cover softness
- Buyers describe the outer material as very soft.
- Seat stability
- One buyer reports the actual shape is more like a slide, with the seating area angled downward and causing slide-off.
- Initial stiffness
- One buyer found the chair a bit stiff initially and hoped it would soften with time.
- Reshaping
- The chair is easy to reshape.
- Return policy transparency
- One buyer reports the return policy does not clearly state a required $100 return fee.

A cozy reading nook or lounge spot for kids and teens
Marketed as a cozy nest for lounging and dreaming, this armless faux-fur chair with a single continuous cushion and slightly reclined back can work as a relaxed reading or hangout spot. Customer reviews suggest it can be cozy for relaxation, though some note the cushions start firm and need a break-in period, and the downward seat angle may cause sliding over time.[1,2]
A cozy lounging spot for a kid's room or play area
This faux-fur beanbag chair is designed as a cozy cocoon for kids and teens, with soft plush stripes made for lounging and dreaming in a bedroom or play area. Customer feedback suggests the soft fur and cozy shape appeal to children, though some reviewers found the seating comfort mixed, noting a downward angle that can cause sliding and a feel some consider overly firm.[1]
Considerations for using it as desk seating
This faux-fur chair may catch your eye as a desk or task seat, but that's the use where it draws the most criticism. Based on a review summarized in a customer-reviews analysis, the seat slopes downward and users have reported sliding off while working at a desk, making it impractical for task seating. Original reviewer testimony isn't available, and this comes from a single review, so experiences may vary.[1]
A statement accent piece for your living space
Shoppers use this faux-fur chair as a decorative accent, with customer reviews highlighting how its wide-stripe design and plush material elevate the look of a living space. According to reviews of the chair, it works as a stylish statement piece for any room.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Faux-Fur Wide Stripes Chair: Choose this for kids or teens who want a cozy lounging spot: a faux-fur beanbag-style chair with velvety-soft plush stripes, a 100% recyclable polystyrene bead fill, and a secure zip closure, offered in Ivory, Light Brown, Mossy Green, and Dusky Pink. It measures about 27.5 inches (70 cm) in width, depth, and height, and customer reviews say the soft fur is a hit with children and works as a stylish accent. Note that reviewers report the seat slopes downward and can cause sliding, making it a poor fit for desk or task seating, and the cushions may need a break-in period before feeling plush.[1] | Azure Sheepskin-Textured Pear Chair: Choose this if you want a low, pear-shaped lounge chair that sits directly on the floor with no legs, offering a sheepskin-textured look (in 100% polyester) over a high-density foam fill, with a zip closure and integrated armrests from inward-sloping sides. At about 29 inches wide, 42 inches deep, and 45 inches high, it suits a living room, bedroom, or reading nook, per the seller. Note that while the product name says Azure, the listing's available variant is the one-size Chocolate/Espresso colorway, a deep warm brown.[3,4,5] | Modern Corduroy Bean Bag Chair: Choose this if you want a soft, corduroy bean bag for lounging in a living room, basement, or bedroom: its polystyrene bead fill moulds to your body with every movement, and a triangular high back with a recessed seat offers more structure than a typical bean bag. The polyester corduroy cover comes in five colors (Off White, Fawn/Tobacco, Khaki/Sage/Olive, Baby Blue, and Pink) in one size, roughly 27 inches in diameter and 43 inches high, with a top handle for easy transport. Note that it cannot be shipped to Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, or the Magdalen Islands.[6,7] |

Parfait pour chambre
Belle qualité , encore mieux en personne. Merci
Shape
The item is not as pictured. The photo makes it appear that a person could sit comfortably in the middle of the chair, but the actual shape is more like a slide. The seating area is angled downward, causing you to slide right off. Additionally, the return policy does not clearly state the required $100 return fee. Overall, this was a waste of money.
It’s a bit stiff, hopefully
It’s a bit stiff, hopefully that changes with time.
Wow
Le fauteuil est très beau, doux et il est très confortable. Ma fille l’apprécie beaucoup!
Lovely
This is a really great bean bag chair. Feels very high quality, the outer material is very soft. It's very easy to reshape. I would love to get another one when I have more space.

Positive reception and comparison to imported chairs
These look amazing! We've been talking about getting some beanbag type chairs; these are a similar price as the made elsewhere ones we had looked at before, but these look so much nicer. Thanks for posting!
